Set of Five Yohen-Kin Shino Ceramic Plates by Suzuki Tomio
Set of Five Yohen-Kin Shino Ceramic Plates by Suzuki Tomio

Set of Five Yohen-Kin Shino Ceramic Plates by Suzuki Tomio

Located in Atlanta, GA

Japanese ceramic Suzuki Tomio (born in 1948) specializes in Shino ware. In 2003, he successfully developed Yohen-kin or transformed gold Shino, an opulent and golden glaze which led to a number of luster glazes in the artist’s growing body of work. Inspired by the golden tea ceremony room in Osaka Castle commissioned by Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536-1598) where honored guests were served tea from a glittering bowl coated with pure gold, it took the artist nearly a decade of experimentation and refinement to achieve the glaze while strictly adhering to traditional shino making techniques. This set of five Yohen-kin plates displays a lustrous transformation. Signed on the bottom of plates. With original wrap cloth and the storage tomobako box entitled and signed by the artist in Kanji, with additional red seal. The size of the box is 5-1/8 x 8-1/4 x 8-1/4 inches. Many of Suzuki Tomio's shino pottery...

Japanese Antique Overglaze Pottery Square Plate/Square Pottery Tray/1800s/Edo

Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba

This is an overglaze ceramic square plate made in the late Edo period. It's made in Kyoto. It is thought that this pottery was made based on a design by a potter called "Kenzan Ogata" who was active in the middle of the Edo period. (Kenzan Ogata is a famous potter who even appears in Japanese art textbooks.) The feature of this pottery is that it is made with a unique production technique that after stretching it on a clay plate and cutting it into squares, the clay that has been cut into long strips is pasted on all sides and fired. This plate is made with a design that makes green and blue stand out on a white base. Flowers are drawn, but the margins are intentionally removed around them to create a simple finish. it's very beautiful. Also, since this pottery has been used for a long time, the glaze is peeling off here and there. See detailed images. However, this peeling does not progress as much as it is used normally. In addition, since thin clay plates are fired, the plates themselves tend to warp or twist in the kiln. This plate is also slightly twisted when viewed horizontally. However, it can be used without any problems when used as a tray. It is also worth seeing as an ornamental plate...
